1	A Study of the Implementation and Utilization of the Merit Systems Protection Board in Adverse Action Cases Goodwin, Douglas J. 08 1900 (has links) The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 on the federal civil service through the establishment of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 was designed to correct many of the abuses which existed under the Civil Service Commission related to appeals procedures and inefficiency within the federal government. The majority of data collected for this study were obtained from the Dallas field office of the Merit Systems Protection Board, which covers approximately 275,000 federal employees in a five-state area. Additional data, related to all of the regional field offices of the Merit Systems Protection Board, were obtained from Washington, D.C. Two research tools were used to collect data from the Dallas field office: a questionnaire and a personal interview. Three hypotheses were examined. Hypothesis I stated that the creation of the Merit Systems Protection Board has not given presiding officials any additional authority to handle or decide adverse action cases brought within their jurisdiction. Hypothesis II stated that the length of time needed to process adverse action cases has not decreased since the creation of the Merit Systems Protection Board. Hypothesis III stated that the creation of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 has made no difference in the number of adverse action cases brought by federal employees against federal agencies.

2	A history of Aboriginal communities in New South Wales, 1909-1939 Goodall, Heather January 1982 (has links) Doctor of Philosophy / This thesis traces NSW Aboriginal political activity and demands from 1909 to 1939. In examining the background to the situations of Aboriginal communities in the early 1900's, two factors appear to have been of major importance. One was the degree of compatibility between Aboriginal and rural capitalist land use. The other was the labour requirements of rural industries. There are clear indications of internal colonial economic relations continuing until at least the late 1930's. As European land use intensified regionally, Aborigines attempted to secure their position by demanding tenure over land of significance to them. Initially, the creation of reserves was as much a result of this Aboriginal demand as of white settler desires to segregate Aborigines.

4	Framtagning och utveckling avvakuumbord för fräsmaskin / Framtagning och utveckling avvakuumbord för fräsmaskin Eriksson Hjelm, Fredrik, Bergh, Victor January 2021 (has links) BTH har i dagens läge en önskan om att ha ett effektivare sätt att fästa ett arbetsstycke som kommer att bearbetas av fräsmaskinen. Det mest lämpliga alternativet anses då vara ett vakuumbord. Syftet med detta examensarbetet är att undersöka framtagning och utveckling av vakuumbord. BTH hade då också en kravlista på vad bordet skulle kunna klara av att göra. Bordet skall ha en total arbetsyta på 400 x 400 mm, den ska kunna hålla fast arbetsstycken som består av trä och plast som ska genomfräsas. Den skall även ha en skyddsbräda som skyddar bordet från förslitningar över tiden. Det undersöktes vilket material som ansågs lämpligast att skapa vakuumbordet i, hur processen att fästa arbetsstycket skulle kunna förbättras samt det bästa sättet att optimera funktioner och dimensioner på genom att ta hänsyn till bordets höjd och volym. För att uppnå det målet så kommer en undersökning utföras kring vad ett vakuumbord är, hur de fungerar och varför de är så eftertraktade. Efteråt påbörjas en idégenereringsfas där olika konceptförslag kommer granskas och utvecklas. Efter att ett koncept har valts ut så kommer modellering, beräkning och tillverkningen av prototyperna att påbörjas. Tre prototyper kommer skapas under arbetets gång och prototyperna kommer genomgå en rad olika tester för att granska prototypens sugkraftsstyrka och om de kan hantera vakuumtrycket. Efter att testerna har slutförts så ska de analyseras och utvärderas för att se om de kan utvecklas och förbättras ytterligare. Efter att prototyperna byggts, testerna och utvärderingarna slutförts så kommer det etableras om vakuumbordet fungerar eller inte. Från detta så beslutades det att plywood och MDF är de bästa materialen att bygga i, att nya fästningsmetoder testades och funkar, men uppfyllde inte alla kundens krav. Slutgiltigen så har bordets höjd optimerats på bästa sätt, men att det kan optimeras ytterligare. Med det som har tagits fram så kan rapporten visa att flera utvecklingsmöjligheter har prövats, att kraven har uppfyllts och flera idéer har föreslagits för framtida utveckling av vakuumbordet. / BTH has today a desire to have a more efficient way of attaching a workpiece that will be worked on by the milling machine. The most suitable alternative for this task is considered to be a vacuum table. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the production and development of vacuum tables. BTH also has a list of requirements for what the table should be able to do. The table will have a total work surface of 400 x 400 mm, it will be able to hold workpieces that consist of wood and plastic and it will have a protection board that protects the table from wear and tear over time. In the report it was examined which material is considered most suitable for creating the vacuum table, how the process of attaching the workpiece could be improved and the best way to optimize functions and dimensions with respect to the table's height and volume. To achieve that goal, research will be conducted on what vacuum tables are, how they work and why they are so sought after. Afterwards, an idea generation phase will begin where various concept proposals are investigated and developed. After a concept is selected, modelling, calculation and production of the prototypes will begin. Three prototypes will be created during the work and the prototypes will undergo a series of different tests to examine the prototypes suction power and whether the table can handle the vacuum pressure. After the tests the prototypes will be analysed and evaluated to see if they can be further developed or improved. When the prototype constructions, tests and evaluations are completed it should be easy to establish if the vacuum table works or not. From this it was decided that plywood and MDF are the best materials to build in, that new fastening methods were tested and worked, but did not meet all the customer's requirements. Finally, the table has been optimized in the best way, but it can be further optimized. With what has been produced the report shows that several development possibilities have been tried, that the requirements have been met and several ideas have been proposed for future development of the vacuum table.

GDPR är den centrala regleringen för personuppgiftsbehandling och fastställer ett antal principer som måste upprätthållas för att den ansvarige ska få behandla personuppgifter. Bryter den ansvarige mot förordningens principer har den registrerade rätt att kräva skadestånd enligt art. 82.1 GDPR. Förordningen fastställer tre kumulativa krav som måste vara uppfyllda för att skadeståndsskyldighet ska föreligga. Det innefattar att en överträdelse av GDPR har skett, att materiell eller immateriell skada till följd av denna överträdelse har uppstått och att det föreligger ett orsakssamband mellan skadan och överträdelsen. Förordningen innehåller även en bestämmelse som tar över medlemsstaternas nationella skadeståndsrättsliga bestämmelser, vilket innebär att GDPR ska tillämpas enligt sin ordalydelse och att de kumulativa kraven enligt art. 82.1 GDPR måste följas. Det innebär att nationella skadeståndsrättsliga begrepp inte bör jämställas med begrepp som framgår av art. 82.1 GDPR eftersom begreppen har tillkommit i en helt annan kontext. Exempelvis översätts i vissa fall materiella och immateriella skador till ekonomiska och ideella skador. Begreppen är inte synonyma och bör inte tillställas samma betydelse eftersom terminologin i art. 82.1 GDPR kan misstolkas. Försäkringsvillkoren som reglerar skadeståndsskyldigheten för dataskyddsöverträdelser och som även hänvisar till art. 82.1 GDPR, innehåller i vissa fall nationella skadeståndsrättsliga begrepp och även andra begrepp som inte framgår av förordningen. Det kan leda till att kongruensen mellan villkorens utformning och förordningens ordalydelse medför tolkningsproblematik vid bedömning om skadeståndsskyldighet föreligger. Därför bör försäkringsvillkoren endast innehålla sådan terminologi som framgår av art. 82.1 GDPR. Dataskyddsöverträdelser medför oftast att en stor grupp människor lider skada varför förordningen tillåter registrerade att föra grupptalan med hjälp av en ideell organisation enligt art. 80 GDPR. Teoretiskt sett kan skadeståndsbeloppen bli högre än försäkringsbeloppen varför det i sådana fall saknas ett försäkringsskydd för grupptalan för den personuppgiftsansvarige. Försäkringsvillkoren anger däremot ingenting om att försäkringen inte täcker ett sådant anspråk. Därmed ställs försäkringsbolagen inför utmaningen att hantera sådana anspråk, varför försäkringen bör uppdateras för att möta skadestånd i en grupptalan vid dataskyddsöverträdelser. / The essay investigates insurance coverage for liability for damages in the event of data protection breaches. GDPR is the central regulation for the processing of personal data and establishes a number of principles that must be upheld for the data controller to process personal data. If the data controller breaches the principles of the regulation, the data subject has the right to claim damages under Art. 82.1 GDPR. The regulation sets out three cumulative requirements that must be met for liability for damages to arise. This includes that a breach of the GDPR has occurred, that material or immaterial damage as a result of this breach has arisen, and that there is a causal link between the damage and the breach. The regulation also includes a provision that supersedes the national tort law provisions of Member States, which means that the GDPR shall be applied according to its wording and that the cumulative requirements under Art. 82.1 GDPR must be followed. This means that national tort law concepts should not be equated with concepts as set out in Art. 82.1 GDPR as the concepts have arisen in a completely different context. For example, in some cases, material and immaterial damages are translated into economic and non-economic damages. The concepts are not synonymous and should not be attributed the same meaning as the terminology in Art. 82.1 GDPR can be misinterpreted. The insurance terms and conditions that regulate liability for damages in the event of data protection breaches and also refer to Art. 82.1 GDPR, in some cases contain national tort law concepts and other concepts that are not evident in the regulation. This may lead to a lack of congruence between the wording of the terms and conditions and the wording of the regulation, resulting in interpretation issues when assessing whether liability for damages exists. Therefore, the insurance terms and conditions should only contain terminology as set out in Art. 82.1 GDPR. Data protection breaches usually result in harm to a large group of people, which is why the regulation allows data subjects to bring a collective action with the assistance of a not-for-profit organization under Art. 80 GDPR. Theoretically, damages awarded may exceed insurance coverage, which means there is no insurance coverage for collective actions for the data controller in such cases. However, the insurance terms and conditions do not specify that the insurance does not cover such a claim. Therefore, insurance companies are faced with the challenge of handling such claims, which is why the insurance should be updated to cover damages in a collective action in the event of data protection breaches.
